Information security policies and processes
Our cloud services are managed under Mott MacDonald's Information Security Management System (ISMS) which is independently audited and certified under ISO27001:2013.

Project Managers are responsible for their Projects’ Security Incident Management for systems that are not connected to Group IT systems. All projects must complete an Information Security Risk Assessment (ISRA) as part of our Project Plan of Work (PPW), which must review risks and provide mitigation strategies.

All serious information security incidents (actual or perceived) must be immediately reported to the Director Business Management Systems and Risk who will form a Response Team and Plan to deal with the situation.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Our configuration and change management processes are documented as procedures complying with both ISO9001:2015, TickITPlus and potential security impacts through ISO27001:2013. TickITplus covers our expertise in project management, technical and advisory services in transport engineering, system integration and the development of associated software to Government, Local Authority and the Private Sector. Management and mitigation of risk is an integral part of our system and is monitored and reported through a set of mature project governance procedures designed to identify risks and mitigate against them as soon as possible.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
We review newly released third party software upgrades and patches. We perform non-critical Operating System updates quarterly. Our Cyber Security specialist issues a weekly vulnerability report detailing all new threats from the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), rated by Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) which our support team review and assess for our environment. Once complete we follow existing incident management procedures for security incidents. Where high or critical patches are identified we raise a request and, once approved, deploy to live. Our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation requires remedial work to be undertaken within 14 days.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use a number of tools and techniques to monitor systems for signs of compromise:

• network penetration test scans to detect potential vulnerabilities;
• host-based intrusion detection;
• network firewall;
• web application firewall where justified by the risk assessment; and
• comprehensive system and network monitoring using OpenNMS to detect log events and service issues.

We treat a potential compromise as an information security incident and respond using our Business Management System STEP procedure which details the process for dealing with an information security incident.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
External users can report incidents directly via our service desk portal or by contacting our Help Desk by phone or email. Internal users use our ServiceNow system to report information security incidents.

We treat a potential compromise as an information security incident and respond using our BMS STEP procedure, complying with ISO 27001, which details the process for dealing with an information security incident.

Fighting climate change

PROTECTING AND IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENT - Mott MacDonald is an industry leader in protecting and improving the environment and providing thought leadership in the infrastructure community on creating a stable climate and prosperous net carbon zero economy. We authored the Infrastructure Carbon Review for the UK Government and co-authored the world’s first publicly-available specification on carbon management in infrastructure, PAS2080.

We recognise our responsibility to manage environmental risks and identify safeguarding and improvement opportunities. We have dedicated environmental specialists in areas of air quality, noise, landscape, cultural heritage, water resources and a dedicated global practice leader who draws together expertise and good practice. We know protecting the environment creates sustainable, safe communities and we have extensive experience in delivering environmental impact assessments (EIAs) to our clients to ensure projects are delivered in an environmentally responsible way.

Our Business Management System supports the adoption of a single way of working across the organisation and ensures environmental considerations are incorporated into our internal work, as well as the services we provide to clients. We regularly conduct comprehensive Sustainability and Environmental Risk Assessments (SERAs) at project level.

As an organisation we have made significant strides in reducing our carbon footprint and in 2022 we were the first engineering consultancy in the world to be certified as carbon neutral. We continue to make progress in line with our commitment to becoming a net zero organisation by 2040.

National Highways chose our Moata Carbon Portal for the A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Scheme to assess carbon emissions from construction and to inform the scheme’s environmental impact assessment (EIA). By identifying and targeting carbon hotspots using the Portal our design solutions cut carbon emissions by 46%.

We establish a social value action plan and monitor commitments throughout the project lifecycle.

Covid-19 recovery

COLLABORATING TO BEAT COVID-19 - COVID-19 continues to drive us all to work together to help communities and businesses build confidence now and for the future.

Through the long-standing collaborative relationships Mott MacDonald (MM) has with our clients and partners, we’re collectively identifying things we can all do, and how to execute the best outcomes in the communities affected.

We share the belief that together we will build confidence by keeping our people robust, innovative and our businesses focused on sustaining infrastructure, enterprise, and social outcomes.

AN ALTERNATIVE RECOVERY PLAN: As we seek to recover from COVID-19, throw off economic recession and make society resilient against future surprises we must do four things.

1. Set out the most important challenges
2. Define the desired outcomes
3. Set clear objectives
4. Act urgently

Here we share a snapshot of some of our activities and ideology:

A CATALYST FOR ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE (AMR) PREVENTION? Supporting the Fleming Fund’s efforts to support countries with AMR challenges has contributed to more effective responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PROTECTION FOR WORKERS: A partnerships programme managed by MM will help one million people across Africa and Asia by supporting vulnerable workers and their families through the pandemic.

DELIVERING INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, MM has delivered aid-funded programmes worldwide ensuring that urgent responses are also sustainable.

FUTURE-PROOF DECISION-MAKING: The disruption caused by COVID-19 has made it only too clear that the future will be characterised by volatile change and uncertainty.

GENERATING A GREEN RECOVERY: The UK’s recovery from COVID-19 and its economic impact will be all the better if it is a green one.

We establish a social value action plan and monitor commitments throughout the project lifecycle.

Tackling economic inequality

We recognise EDI is a strategic business priority with a clearly demonstrable business case and our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. We have:

• Achieved gold status under the National Equality Standard (NES) - the highest rating available for the highest benchmark a business can achieve for EDI good practice in the UK.

• Won ‘Best Emerging Talent Strategy’ at the Firm Awards, which recognise efforts in developing and achieving a diverse talent pool.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy prioritises achievement of meaningful skills and employment through provision of grant funding, volunteering, and skills transfer.

SUPPORTING GROWTH OF REGIONAL BUSINESSES

We fully support mentoring and supporting local businesses by proactively recruiting a diverse supply chain. This benefits both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). SMEs account for more than 50% of our suppliers and we are committed to building on the diversity of our supply chain. We participate in ‘Meet the Buyer’ days through our membership of Minority Suppliers Development UK Ltd, and trade shows. We require our supply chain to share similar social and environmental sustainability values and actively support them to do so.

COLLABORATIVE BEHAVIOUR

To ensure our clients benefit from our collective knowledge and experience, we encourage collaborative behaviours with our supply chain.

SCALABLE SOLUTIONS

Our Osprey service now builds on our shared Moata environment, demonstrating our commitment to supporting scalable and future-proofed technologies.

MANAGING CYBER SECURITY

Our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation demonstrates our commitment to applying government-backed best practice when managing online security threats.

PROMOTING INNOVATION

Giving staff opportunities to innovate creates better results for communities and new, more effective solutions for old challenges. We have an annual innovation and excellence fund to enable this.

We establish a social value action plan and monitor commitments throughout the project lifecycle.

Equal opportunity

Mott MacDonald's common values are set out in our vision, mission, and values. A key element of the policy is RESPECT. We respect the natural environment and community in which we work, we cherish the rich diversity in the abilities and talents of all people and cultures, and treat each other with the respect we would want from others.

Our EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION (EDI) efforts involve a range of initiatives and actions to help us achieve:

• EQUALITY, by removing barriers and ensuring everyone has equal access to opportunities.

• DIVERSITY, by creating a workforce which reflects the diversity of the communities we work in at all levels of the business.

• INCLUSION, by meeting the varying needs of our colleagues so everybody feels engaged, respected and able to achieve their full potential.

The Group EDI policy establishes responsibilities and makes clear that unfair discriminatory behaviour will result in disciplinary action.

We are committed to:

• Making reasonable adjustments to ease any difficulties experienced by employees with disabilities in carrying out their work within its standard conditions of employment.

• Ensuring that all members of staff are afforded equal opportunity when consideration is given to staff training and development.

• Conducting annual pay reviews and checks to ensure pay parity between the sexes for jobs of equal market value and job holders of equal qualification, experience, and ability.

• Ensuring that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment, directly or indirectly, on the grounds of age, disability, caring status e.g. gender, race, colour, sexual orientation, etc.

• Promoting inclusion through the development of apprenticeships, work experience and similar programmes.

We establish a social value action plan and monitor commitments throughout the project lifecycle.

Wellbeing

WELLBEING is integral to our business as it affects and influences all areas of daily work. In 2016, Mott MacDonald signed the UK’s Time to Change pledge, reflecting our commitment to reduce mental health stigma and discrimination in the workplace.

Our ambition is to CREATE A ‘BEST IN CLASS’ WELLBEING CULTURE, where we can collectively and individually thrive.

This is done by addressing the following wellbeing concerns:

• DEMANDS: taking account of the demands of our work; responding to individuals; matching skills and responsibilities to the job.

• CONTROL: encouraging the development of skills, consulting staff over work patterns; considering the pace of work and its impact.

• RELATIONSHIPS: creating an environment where bullying and harassment are not tolerated; preventing or resolving unacceptable behaviour.

• ROLE: be clear about what staff need to do; ensure staff can raise concerns.

• CHANGE: provide timely information; consult; understand the impact of change.

• SUPPORT: provide information, support, and adequate resources; practice connected conversations, coaching, and mentoring; highlight external support.

How do we do this ?

• Setting clear actionable KPIs informed by reliable reporting and leading indicators

• Clear governance, roles, and responsibilities

• Programme of investment for Mental Health First Aiders, line managers, and wellbeing champions

• Regular wellbeing pulse surveys

• Review of IT platforms: leverage technology

• Employee Assistance Programme – independent, free and confidential 24/7 advice line which is answered by qualified and accredited counsellors for support on financial, legal and specific mental health support.

• Targeted training for managers in mental health awareness

• Private health care for our staff

We establish a social value action plan and monitor commitments throughout the project lifecycle.
